It's interesting to see how the spots on these horses look different. I thought it was chimerism like in cows, but apparently it's extremely rare in horses, but still there are epigenetic factors in play.
replyI wonder how much gene expression differs in clones of particular species raised in similar environments, I would expect the amount of difference between genetically identical individuals to differ by species, but I have no idea by how much, and how would humans rate on this measure.
The DNA is the code but the animal still goes through the growth process which involves a certain amount of randomness.
replyIt's not just randomness; it is environmental influence. A simple example being a lack of food in the environment affecting size and developmental health.
replyWell there are cloned humans now…
